Acne Scar Treatment at EMAN Aesthetics

Understanding Acne Scars

Acne scars develop due to deep inflammation in the skin, leading to collagen breakdown and abnormal healing. The main types of acne scars include:

  • Atrophic Scars (depressed scars due to collagen loss)
  • Ice Pick Scars: Deep, narrow scars that extend into the dermis
  • Boxcar Scars: Broad, sharply defined edges with a box-like appearance
  • Rolling Scars: Wave-like depressions caused by fibrous bands pulling the skin downward
  • Hypertrophic & Keloid Scars (raised scars due to excess collagen production)

At EMAN Aesthetics, we take a multimodal approach to acne scar treatment, tailoring the protocol to your skin type and scar severity for optimal results.

Our Acne Scar Treatment Protocol

1. Microneedling

Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This helps smooth out mild to moderate rolling and boxcar scars over multiple sessions.

  • Best for: Mild atrophic scars, skin texture improvement
  • Downtime: Minimal (redness for 24-48 hours)
  • Sessions needed: 3-6 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart

2. RF Microneedling (Radiofrequency Microneedling)

RF Microneedling combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to deliver deeper collagen remodeling and skin tightening. It is highly effective for deep rolling scars and boxcar scars, as well as overall skin rejuvenation.

  • Best for: Moderate to severe atrophic scars, skin laxity
  • Downtime: Mild redness and swelling for 2-4 days
  • Sessions needed: 3-5 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart

3. Subcision with Taylor Liberator

Subcision is a minor surgical procedure that releases fibrotic bands pulling down rolling scars. At EMAN Aesthetics, we use the Taylor Liberator, a specialized instrument that provides more precise and effective subcision with minimal trauma. This technique allows the skin to lift and smooth out naturally over time.

  • Best for: Stubborn rolling scars with tethering 
  • Downtime: Mild swelling and bruising for 5-7 days
  • Sessions needed: 1-3 sessions, spaced 6-8 weeks apart

4. TCA CROSS (Trichloroacetic Acid Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars)

TCA CROSS is a targeted chemical peel technique where high-strength TCA (70-100%) is applied directly into ice pick and deep boxcar scars to stimulate collagen production and gradually fill in depressions.

  • Best for: Ice pick scars, deep boxcar scars
  • Downtime: Scabbing for 7-10 days, redness for up to 2 weeks
  • Sessions needed: 2-4 sessions, spaced 6-8 weeks apart
